When Winter is coming, you better take livestocks far from the mountains, close to the sea. Transhumance is older than roads, men and animals walked together, in a seasonal cycle. Today livestocks are transport, or they simply don't travel. Every September 29Th, veterinarian Pierluigi Imperiale walks again through Tratturo Magno, a road made of grass and ground, 250 kilometers, from L'Aquila to Foggia. The itinerary follows the one on the old maps, even if it doesn't exist anymore. Everyone, for one hour or many days, men and animals, can join his travel.—Anonymous
Experience the oldest travel of the world: Transhumance. Since millenniums, livestocks and humans used to seasonally share the same road made of grass. Now animals don't need to walk through it, because human technology has found faster ways to move them. But humans, still have the ancestral need, to walk through it. This movie is about walk, it's a documentary but it's not, it's a description of the feeling to be on a way where a lot of people were, in other times. On a road that is still on maps, but that doesn't exist anymore.—Roberto Zazzara
